Great finish. Tentative start. The Edey effect was present. Only 3 Illinois players had ever played him. Once they got their confidence it was too late to come back but live the effort and the continuous improvement. Team keeps raising their ceiling every game.

The F1 on Jones was an awful call ...
Someone told me that Edey had not even been called for a foul the previous 3 games ... He was called for 4 tonight ... And he should have had 5 ... That one in the lane on the Goode boxout that they called on Goode was an awful call ...
I like our chances at home or neutral court even without TSJ. It a lock with him.
Probably 12

I’ll take the Frally over a 20 pt loss any day. Still keeps us in the rankings and helps with our tournament metrics. Plus gives us confidence forward and when they are at our house.

I don’t see how you come away from the game thinking there was home cooking with the refs. I thought there were questionable calls on both sides.
I’m not mad being down 21 around the 12 minute mark and losing by 5. Never like to lose, but man. Effort showed up there.

Especially against Edey I would have loved to see Ty have the ball in his hands off the dribble. Let him cross up Edey a couple times and run him in circles, make him work and maybe get a foul on him. Giving up the ball and sitting the short corner is playing exactly into Purdue's hands.
AAAAAAND... We go UP to #7 in KenPom. That comeback, even though it fell short was HUGE!
No Bald Lurch.
Very honestly, no. I think we want CoHawk with Edey and Dain in the rest of the time. It all worked out except the part where Dain didn't get buckets. That doesn't equate to more time for him.
Personally ... Think we beat ourselves with how we started the game and our effort on the glass ...
Can't get out rebounded by 15 ... And I don't know the second chance point stats off the top of my head but I bet we got killed ...
Dain is making a few nifty passes when he's in there but is lost out there most of the time.
He just disrupts our team chemistry when he's in there IMO, unfortunately.
Dain was awful tonight, so no.
Have to agree here ... Hansberry out tonight with back issues was the reason for 0 run for him and some run for Dain ...
They moved up to 7 in kenpom - just updated. AP poll shouldn’t move - outperformed expectations
I'm with you on this one...its not about number of calls. If each team fouled 10 times and they called it 10 to 10, then great, But what if a team fouls 25 times and one fouls 10 and its called 10-10 on fouls?
I felt slight homecooking to purdue but not egregious. Mostly it was over the back calls that seemed to not be called on them (til edey did super obvious ones).
The two bailout calls Jones got had me reacting like coleman LOL.
Another thing that irked me
Kaufman renn and jones shoot 53% and 65% from the line. THey go for 13-14. At their averages we mightve won hah

Hope Hansberry gets better quickly!
Dain can be a good player, but he really just isn't the right fit for this team.
I think undercutting someone is always a flagrant. In a pickup game, that would have caused a fight. You just don't do that. And no one can tell me that he didn't know. He knew what he was doing. Edey could have been called for more fouls. Early over the back non calls. Some of those rebounds were very aggressive and could have been called too. He doesn't play clean. That's why he will foul out in the tournament and they will lose early again....unless the refs get the memo.
I mean… easily could also be called a hook and hold on Luke. He literally has Edey’s arm with both hands. Yes there is a lot of contact there, but that amount of contact goes uncalled quite often in the lane.
This is the play I was referencing in my earlier post ...
Kenpom still has us at #7 despite loss.
